Just wanted to comment that satan only counterfeits works of God.  In so many areas unfortunately, God's people, have abandoned those areas and paths that God uses to communicate with His people when satan's counterfeits become more prevalent.  Would you accept a $20 bill if 90% of the $20 bills in the mainstream were counterfeit?  Only if you have a discerning eye and you knew how to tell the real from the fake.  And many Christians are what the Bible calls baby Christians and have not grown to have discerning eyes.

 

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.  For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.  Hebrews 5:12-13

 

satan led worshop towards the Heavenly Throne as his job as lucifer.  One would expect him to counterfeit God's music.  There was recently an excellent post on rock-n-roll talking about just this.  But do we stop worshiping God because satan's substitutes are more prevalent?  R.C. Sproul had an excellent talk this week about how we can decide to get up on Sunday, get dressed, get in the car, walk into church, sit down in a pew, stand up in the pew when the music starts, but if we don't open our mouths and join in, we are never worshiping God.  We have made all the right decisions along the way but we make the wrong decision at the end.  

 

I looked at the site links with 111 and the number meanings are all wrong, even 666.  What would one expect from Numerology.  Yet some people would blasphemy the Word of God and say that when the Bible states:

 

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.  Revelation 13:18

 

The Bible itself is practicing Numerology and that it is not wisdom and those that have understanding do not count the number of the beast, or any other number for that matter.  Blasphemy!

 

I have read the book "Arithmetic of God", penned by Don Kistler, which claims to have been given by inspiration of the Holy Spirit.  Some claim that nothing has been given by inspiration of the Holy Spirit except the Holy Bible.  It is true that all other religions and cults that I know of that claim divine inspiration for a book other that the Holy Bible are GRAVELY mistaken.  Yet how then are we as Christians led by the Holy Spirit?  The truth is that one has to test all things and hold fast to that which is true.  I have tested this book many times since 1982 when I first read it and each time it has come up faithful to the WORD OF GOD.

 

Quench not the Spirit.  Despise not prophesyings.  Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.  I Thessalonians 5:19-21

 

Amen!

 

Also many Christians skip over the previous three verse and cling to the next verse: 

  

Abstain from all appearance of evil.  I Thessalonians 5:22

 

And in their interpretation of this verse they give to satan all areas of God's creation that satan has a counterfeit.  And satan would like to take from Christians those things given to us by God, just like he did to Adam and Eve.  No longer would they praise God in worship.  No longer would they look at the heavens and see the Gospel in the stars and constellations.  And no longer would they let God communicate with them through numbers, letters, nature, prophecies, dreams and visions.  

 

But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.  Hebrews 5:14

 

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!  Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!  Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:  Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!  Isaiah 5:20-23
